Matt Leinart Pouts Like His Son

"I just want them to ride or die with me," Leinart said softly of 2-2 Arizona. "If I'm the franchise quarterback, play me and let me stumble, because I'll fight through it, and that will help me and our team in the long run. I know coaches want to win now, and I guess they have their reasons. But I don't understand it, and this switching back and forth is almost worse than getting benched."
And with that Matt Leinart’s showing just how ecstatic he really was about the Arizona Cardinals actually mattering in the NFL, (well, that’s at least for the time being) with a record of 2-2 and coming off an upset victory over the Steelers no less. Or was it him trying to do his best Hope Solo impression? That adage saying where peeps try to tell everybody "if you have two quarterbacks, you really don’t have none", well, just a guess here…I’m thinking this situation stuff that up their pooper shooter. Definitely applies in Chicago though, but that’s a whole other basket of apples! To me, so far everything has worked…Well, except for the fact that Coach Whizz waited a little bit too long to put Warner in the Baltimore game.
Although if Leinart really wants his wish of "getting benched" I’d say go for it! Obviously Kurt Warner is a better quarterback…Otherwise do you think Coach Whizz would want him on the field for "certain packages"…Whatever the hell that means. It’s plain as day to see that the team responds to Warner and is more effective as an offense with Warner in there than Leinart. So why not "ride and die" with Warner? Kurt’s not going to be around much longer…Soon he’ll be trading in all his audible calls to pose this question again, "Paper or Plastic?" And last time I checked K-Dub hasn’t been the healthiest over the last few seasons…Oh, let’s not forget turnover prone too. Few fumbles here, few fumbles there, few picks here, few picks there…And you have an older version of Wrecks Grossman! So just imagine if Leinart got completely benched and K-Dub suddenly got his eggs scrambled when he asked for sunny side up! Good ole Matty Boy would be called in to clean up the mess…Talk about yuck! Messy situation in Arizona. In a nutshell, that’s why Kurt won’t take the starting reigns for good…He’s more fragile than all four of my grandparents at the tender ages of 81! And believe me, they all have serious issues going on! One’s in a nursing home for God sakes!
However Coach Whizz sees it in a different light! "He reacted just the way I hoped he'd react," Whisenhunt said afterward. "He was mad, and he wanted to play. That's the sign of a competitor – of a guy who can be our franchise quarterback for a long time." Must be the coaching light that you can’t buy at your local Wal-Mart. Um Whiz, if he was in fact your "franchise quarterback" why would you pull him off the field? You don’t see Jeff Fisher putting in Kerry Collins. Oh yeah, you want Kurt to run "some packages"…GOTCHA! Just a question…"Why can’t Matt run those "packages", too? Because exactly what I said…You don’t have the complete confidence in Leinart, but don’t want to bench him completely because of Warner’s previous troubled past!
Although in the coming days I expect Leinart to do another Solo impression and back off his words and give one of the most used phrases in sports…"My words were taking out of context!" Followed up by, "In the heat of the moment you often say things and this is one of them!" Sure, that’s why you opened your pie hole over a glass of whine. Last time I checked, whine wasn’t on the sidelines, nor in the locker room of NFL teams! Although I will say, it’s good to see you’re spending so much time with your baby boy…Him seems to rubbing off on you, or are you just taking great notes on how he acts? Because you’re acting just like him! "Mommy, Kurt took my spot and I want it back!" "He’s even playing with my ball!" What, do you go crying to Brin too?
Isn’t this ironic…The two SC Mr. All-Everything, (Reggie Bush being the second) the duo everybody was slurping, sucking, spewing, and whatever other -ings over is no longer the case! Why these two amigos are just two more faces in the NFL. So much hype and just nothing more than that! Although it’s good that Matt has Nick Lachey as one of his boys…He can inform Leinart what it’s like to be a complete joke! And when your career is going down a dead end street! Be on the look out for LastRowSports.com first featured film…Mr. Hollywood turns Janitor! Starring Matt Leinart as himself coming to a University of Phoenix Stadium near you!
One more thing…. Shouldn’t he know a little something about going back and forth? Paris, Britney…Britney, Paris! Hmmm! I guess that’s okay though, right?
